Having Eyes but No Sight, This Meal Money Isn't Worth Paying

"Young Master, how was it?" Ye Tian asked with a curious look.

The woman in the red dress just now was indeed quite beautiful.

Along the way, the eyes of all the men followed her as she left, lingering for a long time before looking away.

"Dirty-minded, why are you asking this!" An Yi rolled his eyes at him, thought for a moment, and said, "Her waist was alright, quite slim, soft, and tender."

"I-I was asking if you got hurt," Ye Tian said, a bit speechless.

An Yi: "..."

"Hurry up, let's go to the Xu family first!" An Yi said with a dark expression.

The sooner the mission was completed, the sooner they would be free.

Following the route in his memory, Ye Tian arrived in front of a grand-scale restaurant.

An Yi sized up the signboard of the Xu Family Restaurant: "The Xu family's business is doing pretty well. If you marry into their family, won't you be rich?"

"I, Ye Tian, am a dignified man, how could I possibly choose to marry into my wife's family! I will openly and honorably marry Xu Yiyun!"

Ye Tian looked at the restaurant with a heroic spirit, his tone solemn.

"Let's go, let's eat first!"

An Yi rubbed his grumbling stomach and stepped inside first.

"You two, here is the menu!"

Seeing the two of them, the waiter's eyes lit up as he handed over an exquisite wooden plaque.

An Yi glanced at it casually and ordered a few dishes at random: "We'll go with these."

"Alright, please wait a moment."

The waiter smiled and left.

The food was served very quickly, filling a large table with all kinds of delicacies.

An Yi tore into a steak, nodding in appreciation: "Not bad, the meat is soft yet chewy, neither dry nor greasy. Hmm, you pay the bill later."

Ye Tian smiled: "No problem."

It was just the cost of a meal. He considered it a repayment; after all, An Yi had followed him all the way...

Wait!

This guy didn't seem to have done anything!

Not only did he lead him to dangerous places in the deep mountains and old forests, but he also took him grave robbing, digging up other people's ancestors!

Ye Tian thought about it for a second and then tossed it to the back of his mind.

Passing through the Ghost Cave, they had slept in the wind and eaten dew for several days, chewing only a few snow crisp cakes. By now, they were starving.

After a wild eating spree.

An Yi held a toothpick, burping: "Go pay the bill, let's retreat!"

Ye Tian went to the front desk to pay.

"Hello, the total is twenty gold coins, one silver coin, eighty copper coins, and five coppers! Let's round it up, twenty gold coins and two silver coins will do!"

The shrewd middle-aged man wearing a small hat at the counter grinned, revealing a smile where the gold tooth on his front teeth sparkled exceptionally brightly.

"That much?"

Ye Tian was shocked, his voice stuttering: "Did you miscalculate?"

"Impossible to miscalculate, look closely!"

The middle-aged man looked at the wooden plaque, drew on the paper with a pen, and listed a string of bills.

"Read out the dishes, are there any missing? If so, the back kitchen will make them up for you."

After hearing this, Ye Tian took the bill and checked it, his heart sinking more and more as he looked.

The dishes were correct.

There were only eight plates on their table.

But each dish was frighteningly expensive.

Among them, the steak made from the hind leg meat of the Fire Bull was worth eight gold coins for that single dish!

You know, working as a servant in the Luo family, he only earned two silver coins a month. Usually, spending a few coppers for a meal was a stretch.

He didn't expect that this one meal would actually cost twenty gold coins!!

"Hahaha, another fish took the bait!"

"This Xu Liu is really damn bad, bullying these outsiders again!"

"That scam menu has done it again, haha!"

"Hehe, not gonna lie, this trick works really well. These country bumpkins dare to order blindly without knowing anything, they'll just have to accept their bad luck!"

The surrounding diners looked at Ye Tian's embarrassed appearance and all burst out laughing teasingly.

Ye Tian's eyes narrowed, suddenly realizing something.

At the beginning, the wooden plaque menu handed over by the waiter did not indicate the prices.

In reality, every single dish was terrifyingly expensive.

They specifically slaughtered fat sheep like them who didn't ask for prices!

"What, is the gentleman not planning to pay?"

Xu Liu grinned, revealing a mouthful of gold teeth, and asked with a chuckle, his small eyes showing a bit of murderous intent.

Ye Tian looked embarrassed.

It was obvious they were getting ripped off!

But it was also their fault for ordering without asking the price.

He certainly didn't have that much money, though he did have some spirit cores in his pocket.

Along the way, there were mostly level-two demonic beasts, but the probability of level-two demonic beasts producing spirit cores was low. There were only two level-three spirit cores, which added up to about five or six gold coins.

"Step back!"

At this moment, a hand rested on Ye Tian's shoulder.

Seeing An Yi, Ye Tian breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Having lived two lives, although he had lived a long time, it didn't mean he had high emotional intelligence.

This kind of thing was better left to An Yi.

"Heh, did you bring reinforcements?"

Xu Liu looked An Yi up and down and smiled: "It's no use finding anyone today! If you don't pay, we'll make sure you suffer the consequences!"

Behind him, a group of thugs rubbing their fists and wiping their palms were already getting impatient.

Seeing that if they didn't pay, they were going to start beating people up!

An Yi smiled, gave a thumbs-up, and pointed at Ye Tian behind him: "Do you know who he is?"

Xu Liu glanced at Ye Tian and pondered slightly.

Dressed shabbily, he didn't look very wealthy.

However, this good-looking young man in front of him might be a rich person.

His clothes were a bit strange, but in Qi City, where different regions and ethnic groups gathered, it wasn't too eye-catching.

He couldn't tell what material it was, but the fabric looked good at a glance, slim and light, with hardly any stitches visible.

Especially those shoes, he had never seen anything like them, quite exquisite and unique.

Xu Liu shook his head and sneered: "Then, may I ask who this gentleman is?"

An Yi said loudly: "He is the man of your eldest miss, Xu Yiyun! The son-in-law of your Xu family!"

Hearing this, the whole place fell silent for a moment.

Then, it erupted into roaring laughter.

"Haha, this is killing me, this poor boy is the Xu family's son-in-law!"

"Crazy, crazy, how dare he even think that!"

"I wouldn't even dare to dream of this. A toad lusting after swan meat, he must have lost his mind."

The people around laughed together.

In Xu Liu's eyes, a look of sarcasm emerged: "Spouting nonsense and tarnishing our eldest miss's reputation, that's an added crime! Let me tell you, this matter won't be settled so easily even if you pay!"

Looking at the ignorant onlookers, An Yi slightly raised his eyes.

What a great moment to show off!

It could increase Destiny Points!

A smile curled up at the corner of An Yi's mouth as he nudged Ye Tian next to him with his elbow: "Hey, it's your turn to step up and slap their faces. What evidence do you have to prove your relationship?"

Ye Tian was slightly taken aback. After thinking for a while, he shook his head: "None."

An Yi: "..."

Xu Liu sneered: "Still putting on a double act? Our Eldest Miss Xu has long found a good match. What kind of thing is this kid!"

A good match?

An Yi raised an eyebrow slightly.

Heh, isn't that just Ye Tian!

Blind fools! This meal is not worth paying for anyway!
